TESTIMONIALS

We have been blown away by how outstanding the weekend was. Our players, coaches & parents enjoyed it massively. ​

Congratulations, It’s been a huge success for football in Dubai. Thanks for all your help over the weekend.

Conor Walsh | Barca Dubai

We had a wonderful time in Dubai. Chris & his team put on an amazing event, everything was on point & so professional. Really, really impressive!​ We will now look to build a small spin-off event in Dar El Salaam after the unbelievable experience in Dubai. ​

Our boys did fantastic despite the shock & nerves of playing such a high standard of opposition & at such high-quality facilities. We are definitely planning to come back next year! ​

Fina Mango | DarYC The Bulls​

The trip has been fantastic, it really has been a great opportunity for our boys to travel & compete in Dubai.

We would be delighted to be invited back! ​

Jon | Wolverhampton Wanderers​

A massive thank you to the Mina Cup staff for being so welcoming & providing such value to their partners from the moment we arrived. ​

For any other clubs or sponsors looking to differentiate themselves at the youth football level, I cannot speak highly enough of this tournament & what Chris & his staff have put together.

Oliver Templeton | Oliver Charles​

It is really important we partner with programs that share the same set of values as us, and that is certainly the case with The Mina Cup. ​

This is a fantastic initiative and one that we are excited to be involved with. ​
